No, they do not. Electric collars have been proven to cause no "shocking" damage to a dog's neck or any kind of brain damage. An electric collar provides a stimulus like that of a shock from a doorknob.
What can happen, however, when the collar is left on too long with certain dogs with sensitive skin, is a bacterial infection. The electric collars are fitted snugly to provide a consistent correction and when the skin is wet or in sensitive skinned dogs, the skin becomes irritated and can worsen if left untreated. When unknowledgeable people see this infection from the electric collar, they assume the dog was "burned."
Another negative affect, which may be related to the "brain damage" claim, happens when the collars are used incorrectly by people who don't know how to use them. When a dog is consistently "shocked" with no guidance or training, the dog loses motivation to do anything because everything they've done is wrong. The dog's attitude suffers, their drive to work and play disappears and they can become lethargic.

Is the guardian anti bark collar safe for your dog?
Shock anti bark aren't the best choice. They have only a 20% effectiveness, compared to citronella collars which are four times as effective. I have seen shock collars malfunction and burn the dog, not this particular brand, but a shock collar none-the-less. You also should be concerned about the cause of your dog's barking. If your dog is at all anxious or nervious, an aversive like a shock collar can damage them psychologically and make their barking problem even worse.
